Rated Aciphex for Reflux esophagitis Report

Causes vertebral fractures and bone problems with prolonged use, per study that I read about, printed in CNN.com. Do the research.
Recommendation is now to take it for 14 days in a row, and no more.
Apparently it does such a effective job, that, with the lack of acid in the stomach, the calcium and minerals do not get broken-down to be delivered to the bones.
If you have taken this for more than three months and find that you have back pain or some type of bone pain, be aware and concerned. Once again, do a search on "Aciphex and vertebral fractures" to see more details.
Works well for the stomach, but the side effects may be very serious.

I took Aciphex for nearly 6 months before I realized it was causing an ache in my wrist which had been badly sprained years earlier.

I have Crohn's disease and with it came some moderate to severe reflux. My gastrointerologist gave me several different "PPI's" to try. When they all failed he gave me some samples of Aciphex and I haven't had reflux since. LOVE this little pill!!!
My insurance considers it an "Out-of-network" medication and my co-pay is about $70 when I have to use my insurance, I a lucky enough to have a PCP with a in office pharmacy and as long as one of the doctor's there writes the Rx I only have to pay $15 (drastic price difference. My regular pharmacy has told me that with out insurance that a 30 day supply is around $130. I don't actually know what the full retail price is.

I have Acid Reflux for 10 years and this little pill is like no other! I now enjoy vegetables like onions again - I couldn't even look at one before Aciphex! I tried Nexium and Pepcid AC, but neither of them worked

I love this little pill and have taken it for several years....one pill a day. Now this year my insurance carrier will not cover it....so I'm reduced to over the counter since I won't pay $2 per pill. :( Nancy

My condition, which is severe acid, was not listed as a condition. I tired several OTC as well as prescription products without success. Aciphex was a miracle drug for me. I do not have reflux...but the acid build-up was so severe I thought I needed to go to the emergency room on several occassions...OTC products took the edge off only. The quality of my life improved significantly with Aciphex

Aciphex did nothing for me. I was on it for a year because it's the only ppi my insurance would pay for, but my condition really deteriorated during that time and I had to go back to taking Prevacid, which works the best for me. It's costing me a fortune, but it's better than the horrible symptoms I was exxperiencing. My doc says there all the same, but I disagree with that. All of these ppi's are way overpriced imo.

I have taken GI medications since 1975 and this is by far the best! Even beats Nexium!
